today my blog will be something from the bible. i think i will try to include verses into my blog daily, if i can. ive just started reading the bible, and i find the lessons taught in it rather meaningful, applicable to daily lives, even to non-christians.
"But i tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away ur tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two." --Matthew 5:39-41
this is so interesting. i can stand up to my evil mother. i will be strong and stand against adversity.these 3 verses taught me not to buckle under pressure, but stand up, and go the extra mile to show that you're worthy of urself.

"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your tresspasses." --Matthew 6:14,15
Be forgiving. for ur mercy will be returned, ur kindness be repaid. however, do not forgive people for the sake of showing other people that u have a kind soul.these following verses support my point.
"Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound the trumpet before you as hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly I say to you, they have their reward. But when u do a charitable deed, do not let ur left hand know what your right hand is doing, That your charitable deed may be in secret,and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly." --Matthew 6:2-4

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives, and he who seeks, finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." --Matthew 7:7,8
this is definitely true. if u want something, u have to ask, seek and find. or there will be nothing. nothing comes true just by wishing for it. you need to get up to do something about it. make an effort, and that effort will not be wasted.

that's all for today.
